Government Protection

“I think the bicyclists ought to police each other instead of us (motorists) having to look out for them.”

– Del. Barry Knight (R – Virginia Beach), reportedly speaking in opposition to HB 1048, on the House floor, the 3 foot passing of bicycles, after he had specifically mentioned the incident in his district on the Pungo bridge where the two riders got tangled up and one went over the side and down about 35 feet into the marsh, surviving with minor injuries.

The bill did not pass in the House, it is still alive in the Senate.

Personally, I feel the same way about children.
And pedophiles.
And dogs.
And Iraq.
And motorists.

In fact, this could balance the state and local budgets quite quickly.
